Crispy Red Bean Puff Pastry Pancakes

Ingredients

For the dough:

• All-purpose flour

• Boiling water

• Cooking oil

For the oil pastry:

• All-purpose flour

• Oil (for shortcrust-style pastry)

Filling:

• Red bean paste (rolled into small balls)

Other:

• Sesame seeds (for topping)

• Cooking oil (for frying)

Instructions

1. Make the Dough Base:
   In a bowl, add boiling water to the flour and stir until crumbly.
   Add a little cooking oil and knead until a smooth dough forms. Let it rest.

2. Prepare the Puff Pastry:
   In a separate bowl, mix flour and oil until a paste forms. This will be the puff pastry layer.

3. Wrap the Dough:
   Roll out the dough into a flat sheet. Spread the puff pastry mixture evenly on top.

4. Form Dough Rolls:
   Roll up the layered dough into a log. Cut into equal small segments. Stand a segment upright, press down, and fold in half.

5. Wrap the Filling:
   Flatten the dough, place a ball of red bean paste in the center, and pinch it closed. Place the sealed side down.

6. Shape and Flatten:
   Gently press the filled dough into a round pancake shape. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

7. Pan Fry:
   Brush a pan with a little oil. Fry the pancakes on low heat until both sides are golden and crispy.

8. Serve:
   Enjoy warm with tea or as a sweet snack anytime.
